Remedial Massage in Tweed Heads
Clinically focused remedial massage at Medela Osteopathy & Co on Wharf Street, Tweed Heads, a five-minute walk from Coolangatta. Relaxing, yes, but built to ease the aches, tightness and niggles that hold you back.
Why massage at an osteopathy clinic?
You shouldn’t have to wonder whether your massage is going to be any good. Our massage therapist is vetted by our osteopaths and works alongside them every day, so you get hands that understand anatomy, injury and pain, not just a routine.
Every massage is remedial: tailored to what your body needs on the day, whether that’s easing a stiff neck, recovering from training or simply switching off. And if something needs more than massage, we’ll point you to the right care in-house.
Massage styles we offer
Every massage at Medela is remedial at its core: assessed and tailored to what your body needs on the day. Let us know which style you're after when you arrive.
Deep tissue massage
Firm, slow pressure into the deeper layers of muscle and fascia to release stubborn tightness, knots and chronic tension through the back, neck, shoulders and hips.
Sports massage
For runners, surfers, gym-goers and weekend athletes. Sports massage helps you recover from training, loosen overworked muscles and stay on top of niggles before they turn into injuries.
Relaxation massage
Gentler, flowing pressure to calm the nervous system and help you switch off, while still addressing the areas that need attention.
Lymphatic drainage massage
A light, rhythmic technique that encourages lymph flow. It's often used to help reduce swelling and fluid retention. If you've recently had surgery, check with your surgeon before booking.

Massage and osteopathy under one roof
Massage works well on its own or alongside osteopathy. If you're dealing with ongoing back or neck pain, headaches or a sports injury, our osteopaths can assess what's driving it and work with Zach on a plan. Explore our services or our headache and migraine clinic.
